Lauren Martinelli hasn't added a story.
Dallas is an 11 month old Olde English Bulldog who is full of personality and spunk. Her owners brought Dallas to the vet at six months old. She was having difficulty holding her bladder and bowel. They felt as though they had no other option than to give her up to a rescue or put her to sleep. That is where the rescue came and saved the day. Although they had never had a dog with such severe needs they agreed to take Dallas on. Her foster mom picked her up in Mechanicsville, Virginia and knew right away that this little puppy had spunk. It took a lot of trial and error to come up with the best method to take care of Dallas and to get her to keep her diapers on.
Her foster mom wanted to know if there was anything that could be done to help this sweet puppy so Dallas was brought to two different neurologists. On September 30 Dallas was blessed to have an MRI that was donated from VOSM. The MRI came with good and bad news. The good news is that the results of this test confirmed that Dallas has Spina Bifida and a pocket of tethered nerves. The doctors believe that they will be able to perform a dorsal laminectomy. This procedure will untether the nerves and allow her to regain function of her bowel and bladder. It will also ensure that there will not be any more damage to her spine. The bad news is that the estimate given was between $3,500-$4,148 depending on the needs of medications etc. The goal is for people to donate as much or as little as they possibly can. Every penny helps to ensure Dallas will live the best life possible.
